Converting .CPI files to .mov files

My friends Mac is running on MAC OS X 10.4.11 and wants to edit .CPI video files but he can't because it doesn't support them. Is there anyway to convert those files to .mov files for him to edit them. Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge .CPI files are not video clips, they're just some of the extra data that comes with shooting on card. What camera did they come from? Check to see if there are any .mts or .mpg or .mov files or anything else that might be a video clip in the folder.

Did you shoot AVCHD? IF so, you want to connect it to the computer, turn it on, open FCP and choose 'Log and Transfer' from the menu, not 'log and capture'. Then find the volume, mount it and import it. It can be a bit confusing at first, so maybe look for a tutorial on how to import AVCHD via Log and Transfer.
